(manual said it would be fine but I think I'll get a 4pin to 8 pin converter)
The 8 pins allow for more current for the PCI-E slots, but if you are using video cards with their own power, it's unnecessary.
The 4 pins are all ready 'split' on the motherboard. You can even see it if you flip the board over and look at the traces on the bottom.

I may be using a PCI-E to IDE converter for my old dvd/cd drive, but I may end up just buying a new one that uses SATA ports since they cost the same. Holding off on buying the 4 pin to 8 pin converter for now until I decide what I want to do.

I'll keep it in mind, thanks for the offer! My spring break ends this week so I'm aiming to finish building by the weekend (or whenever the damn case gets here) unless I run into another problem.
You're welcomed to hang out and drink with us next week though!

It's getting a bit cramped on my puny apartment table haha...
I'm done!
Thank you to everyone who have assisted me in this fun project.
